Cool. I like to compress my archived sent mail, though. I just have:
set record="=sent/current"
in my .muttrc and this crontab entry:
1 0 1 * * -D mv /home/luke/Mail/sent/current \
/home/luke/Mail/sent/`date -I`; bzip2 \
/home/luke/Mail/sent/`date -I`
This setup keeps this month's sent mail in a ~/Mail/sent/current and
leaves compressed archives that look like 2000-09-01.bz2 in the same
directory. (Yes, I realize I don't need the day to be in the date if
I do this monthly, but if I ever decide to have it happen more often,
it's one less thing for me to change. Trust me, I'd forget ;-)
